(re)viewing messages/notes from installation

[Mark Perkins]

I ran it both ways.  Same result, as I would expect.  But I think I found
the source of the problem, though I don't understand it....

* I have dbus @1.4.18_0 is installed

* I recently did a 'port sync', so the port tree has

	-> port info dbus
	dbus @1.4.20 (devel)
	<snip>

* On another system where I have not sync'd the ports tree, I get the same
as you, which is what I would expect.

So now my question is "why"?   Even though my tree is newer than what is
installed, shouldn't I be able to see things relevant to my installation?
